The Baltimore Orioles have purchased the contract of York Revolution pitcher Julio DePaula, the Revs said in a news release.

The right-handed reliever is the third member of this year's pitching staff to sign with a Major League organization, following Anthony Lerew (Angels) and Mike McClendon (Rockies), according to the Revolution.

This season, DePaula has pitched 29 innings in 28 games and has a 2.42 ERA. He has struck out 30 batters and walked eight behind his fastball, which has been consistently in the mid-90s, according to the team.

DePaula previously pitched in the MLB with the Minnesota Twins. He pitched out of the bullpen in 16 games in 2007.
